USF’s record-setting QB standard and a coaching mind shaped by production
Blackwell was a four-year USF starter who led the Bulls to a 30-12 record and still owns major school passing marks, including 9,108 career passing yards and 57 passing touchdowns; in his senior season he also showed dual-threat value with 1,235 rushing yards and 20 rushing scores.[7][8][9] For a team, the fit question is less about current playing form and more about pedigree: he represents a proven, high-usage quarterback who produced at a program level and later translated that experience into coaching, suggesting strong field vision, competitiveness, and developmental credibility.[7][8]
